This was an action to recover the sum of 1931. 3i. the value of certain goods which had beer. sent to the defendant's vVarelionse, to' be sent to Brighton, he keeping, waggons that went to and front, that place, and which goods had been lost. It Appealed that the package had been left at the, warehouse, for which a receipt had been given, but it lievrr appeared at the place of its destina tion, nor,could any inforimat ion be obtained of what had become of it., The plaintqf coniended, that, by the re, ei t I), had obtained, and the iivo-pence he had Maid, that he had insured the goods; and that the di tendant had indemnified him - agaiiisrall loss: Bin it appearing that a notice was , tuck up in the office,.•to the.;4trect that '' no .pack:ige or parcel, above the - value 51. will be paid for, if Lost, on leas it should be properly entered, and paid for ac cordingly at the time of the delivery," .Mr. Justice BA/LcY, before whom this case was tried, deemed that a sufficient notice, and held that the defendant could not hat e .more. than 51. unless the good s had b e e n p a id f or an d entered accordingly. 'The plaintiff might, however, have a npusuit, which was accepted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JuNa 19. COLLINSON V. 13 ERKLEY This was an an action to recover the amount of damages: done to the brig. Susannah by one of the last hotneward-bound Ea,:t - ticet, cat which Captain Berkley was Commander. It appedr. d that the Susannah, which belonged to the Girarat tar convoy, was beating about in the chops of :he Channel, about ten at night, when she was run down by the Indianian, hrr side s , ove in, and other. considerable darmige done to h r and rigging. •Upon 'a full investigatton of the facts, the ;atilt was deemed attributable to the ,crew Indi - man, and a' verdict to aniount stv 7 :- stained, which retu'hin to be assessed was gt.ch for the plaintiff. _ _ JUNE 20. JONES V. HUDSON. This was an.w-,tion recuver damages jor i an in justice sust.l4o by the i.kiLot Jr , : travi .g been tossedand 401K,-.1 by an ovei-driveu ox, the property of the detendian. Mr..§e.jeant SHEPIIEUD stated the case, which Was to the following effect : 7 —On he 22d k cetnber the .:etettdAnt sent his buy t • Maslow, in Essex, to drive 11. , nte an ox. The animal was per feCtly quiet for the first t‘s o miles of the roa , , when rte etiincs d some 8).14 urns of wAciness, but conti nued his coutse peaceably, tintil he arrived Whnectiapel, - where he- took ft -ght at the bark in 4, of tsva does that - , ere attached, to a truck. The truck he instantly run against and turned over, and then went on through Leadenhall-street. Front this time she was deemed completely mad, and, his drivers save !mike of . that circumstance to the persons in the street. On passing through Picket street, Temple-bar, he ran at a gentleman, %%ho for tunately escaped his attack by an. 'accidental fall: He then rushed forward along the.Strai.d, and s af ter an attack on a milk-woman opposite St. Cle ment's church, who .also providentially' escaped his horns ; he proceeled twaards -Norfolk-strtet, down which the -plaintiff, who is a milk-man, and had his pail. in his hands, had just turned ;- to. him' the ungovernable animal directed his fury, and passing his horns into his thigh, threw hint nearly ten stet froth the -ground, from which violence he was . deprived of his senses for a con-. siderable time, and ; was afterwards confined to his. to stn six weeks and onliged to employ persons tip do that: business which he had vreviously -done himself. To recover damages for the personal in jury he sustained on that occasion, and for the ad ditional expellees he was put to in consequence, • the present action was brought. The , Learned Ser geant went on to slate, that the ox, attar having done this injury, putsued his way down the Strand, tossing and goring several , persons, and was at length, with infinite trouble' and pains, drib en to St. James's Market, the residence of the detendant, where he was slaughtered. 'The ground npon.which he deemed the defendant was answerable for the mischief done by the animal; was the ciocumstance of his servant having neglected fo'seente - the animal in the usual way, by confining him w;ih a' rope or ham-stringing him, on discovering hith to be un got unable, and. in a state of insanity. .The dis covery was made in Whitechapel, and precautions , might have been taken long ottore the plaintiff was attacked. Several witnesses were-called, who proved the in sanity of the bullock, and also bore testimony to the injury h u ta ined by the plaintif. One of the witoesses, a butcher, declared, that it was customary when an ox was deemed mad or over-driven, to. confine him by tying his horn to his toot, or try ham-strioging Linn, as from the urgency of the circumstances might appear most expedient. Mr. Serjeant BEST, for the defendant, in an in genious defence, observed, that it was admitted by the plaintitf 's Counsel and witnesses, that the animal in question was pettedly tame on leaving Plastow, ,and that its irritation principally arose from a fright in Whitechapcl, alter ‘vh.ch it became wholly un manageable. lie conceived that an animal in that state could not easily be coaxed to have his foot tied to 11;s horn, nor could h for one moment iinagitte that any - man in his senses could leel dined io expose himself to the imminent danger of taking a bull by the horns, whose temper was so ap parently, uneven. 1-1 e agreed, if the animal had been mad on its first being driven from Plastow, that the servant Of the defendant would have been inev eusabie ; but die contrary having - appeared to be the case, he apprehended the justice of the Jury would induce them to find a verdiel for his client. The:Learned. Judge, in delivering his charge to the Jury, observed, that from the time the ox ex symptoms of imanity in Whitechapel, to the time when the injury-was done, sufficient space had, elapsed to enable the servant of the defendant to take the proper precautions to secure the animal, so as to prevent the misc)iefwhich had occurred.— He leftithe case, however, to the judgment of the / Jury, who.retired, and after an absence of two hours ; returned 4-Verdict tor •the defendant. • P.4PERS RPLATIVR TO THE CAMPAIGN IN PORTUGAL AND SPAI N. [Continued.) Translation of a Letter from Don Martin de Caray to the Marquis Wellesley, dated Seville, :.`,llg. lz, 13,9. SI R; I have presented to the Supreme Central Junta, of which I haze the honour to be Secretary and Mein:- ber, the note which yoar Excellency did we the ho nour to transmit with the date of to-day, relative to varicus points, respeeting which I will reply to your Excellency with the brevity which the time and cir cumstances require. Mt withstanding that, by an express sent yester- . day fir this purpose, an order had been given to the . General Ccenm an d ant o f G a lli c i a an d t h e A stur i as, And the Duke del Pardue, that, putting thein3eles: in motion, they should come clown toward; ando ;thing' he diredion of the capital; should coin pel the French to diminish their forces, to - Bttei,id to this diversion, and allow the cbinbined armies to act on the off..nsive;—the Junta has thought it pet u liarly its cLty to repeat these same orders, and, com municating them by the Corresponding Minister, to dilett them to your Excellency. This.! now do in order that your Excellency may use them 'as you please. In them it is repvated to the'aforesaid Com mandants, that they are to art without delay, as I communicate and as your Excellency desires. B.etore tliis period all the necessary arrangements had ben made, that nothing might be antitig to' the British tro HoweVer, these same orders are now , renewed. Commissaries ani persons of entire coefid.-nee are sent, who will -take care that alotong sh-dl be wanting to the said army; esta blishing mag.:izilies Where it may be ad:aniageous, and who-re par Excellency thinks convenient. Tile s Coinunssori,-s go with ample powers and funds toprevide and prepare :all the stptcours that are on ce-sari', 'and which the scare ty of'the Country may pe.mit, 'which, desolated by the enemy, . sacked by the soldiers, hiving suffered the weight of war for 't ight mo:e h., and not being i moreover, of the most fruitti.n, is not in a state to supply all that might be destiable. The efforts of the Commissaries, and the zeal of those sv ho are employed,- will supply the want of it cans. In the same manner the Commis saries are on the. paint of immediate departure,' in or'er to be able to facilitate the competent number of muks and c irriages for the armies,- although the difficulty of assembling as many as are desircd, is known. The rapacity of, the enemy, and his care in removing animals of draught, render the collec tion more difficult. It, will be endeavoured to ef fect it by means of purchases at proper prices, ttor whiCh purpose Commissaries depart to-morrow ; as also the number of carts which your Excellency re qUires, which can only be of this countiy, when it is considered to constru6l them in the Catalonian and Valencian manner, would cause infinite delay in the operations of the army. Filially, the Junta, convinced of the urgent access ty of repelling and removing the common enemy, w ill not spate' means, diligence, or expellee, to contribute, - oti their patt, to the embling of both pdw rs'to 46 - t on the Offen sive. Your Excellency will be convinced. of the good faith of the Junta, of the cfforts of the nation, and of the necvs , ity now greater than ever of - reunion, for the purpose of driving the enemy from this part of Spain. The junta is persuaded that your ExcellenCy will interest yourself with General Wellesley, in order- that 'he may en-operate in desires so just ; convinced as your Excellency must he, how pre. judicial it would prove for the enemy, in the)!e.cir 7 - curnstances, to obtain advantages in Estremadura and the Andaludels. The J•mta tequestq your Excellency to commu nicate these orcier9l to. Gen. BerestoFcl; that he, the troops umirrhis command, may assist iu futtlier ing this enterptize. seize this opportunity 'of' rnanifestiug to your Excellency. &c. &c: &c. (Signed) MARTIN DE GARAY.

You are, however, sufficiently aware of the impossibility of relying upon such et - Tut ts, unless a regular system can be. established, tinier such , au thorities as may secure its efficiency and seasonable operation; and, although you•thay be assured that I will omit no endeavour 'to contribute to the esta blishment of stlch a system, I cannot entertain a confident expeciatiOn of success 6. It is evident, that, in order to secure to your army the articles which you require, supplies must be drawn from remote sources, to sach points as may be properly calculated, for the ,establishment of inagazines, and that your means of transport and movement cannot how be from .uie coun tries in which yaw• army is acting.
